"If you love risotto but want something quicker, this simple orzo takes half the time. Rich cheese and cream are switched out for tangy Greek yogurt and goat cheese for equally-satisfying creaminess. Sweet green peas and fragrant fresh tarragon and basil scream spring - though this dish is a year-round classic. Get your fork-and appetite-ready...."
